The files in $PGDATA/base are named by the oid of the database record in
pg_database, like this:

postgres@linda:~$ cd $PGDATA
postgres@linda:/usr1/postgres/data$ ls -l base
total 33
drwx------    2 postgres postgres     2048 Nov 23 04:01 1
drwx------    2 postgres postgres     2048 Nov 23 04:00 1063179

postgres@linda:/usr1/postgres/data$ psql template1
Welcome to psql 7.3rc1, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
...
template1=# select oid,datname from pg_database order by oid;
   oid   |    datname
---------+----------------
       1 | template1
   16975 | template0
   16976 | NEUROMR
   16983 | accounts
 1063179 | comanagers
 1063190 | genealogy
 1063237 | junk
 1063515 | lfix
 1064226 | sql_ledger
 1064465 | stjohns
 3884888 | bray
 4989386 | space database
(12 rows)

Similarly, inside $PGDATA/base/<dbdir>, relation files are named by
their oids in pg_class:

stjohns=# select oid,relname from pg_class where oid > 1000000 and oid <
2000000 order by oid limit 5;
   oid   |        relname
---------+------------------------
 1064466 | members
 1064470 | pg_toast_1064466
 1064472 | pg_toast_1064466_index
 1064473 | members_pkey
 1064475 | perms
(5 rows)

stjohns=# \! cd $PGDATA/base/1064465 ; ls 10* | head -5
1064466
1064470
1064472
1064473
1064475


pg_class has a column, relfilenode, which almost invariably has the same
value as the oid; I'm not sure whether, should they differ, the file
would be named relfilenode or oid, though I would presume the former.
